No, you never said anything about turning a pull request into individual
patches; that was something I found out after you repeatedly mangled my
pull requests.

But how the pull requests get applied is entirely beside the point right
now, because apparently you agreed to a process without making any
provisions for having that continue while you were on vacation?

So now we've got a user data eating bug out there, with a fix that's
been sent to you, and you guys are just sitting on your hands.

You guys need to get your shit together - I've already let people know
that 6.7 is not safe to use and they need to immediately upgrade to 6.8,
but unfortunately not everyone will see that.

This is going to cause people reall pain.
